Igor Severino released
Igor Severino's UFC career lasted barely a round and a half on Saturday night before he was disqualified for biting his opponent and subsequently released from the fight promotion.
The 20-year-old Brazilian, making his Octagon debut at a UFC Fight Night event in Las Vegas, was engaged in an all-action bout with countryman Andre Lima when, with the fighters standing in a clinch against the cage midway through Round 2, Lima suddenly recoiled and lifted his left arm for referee Chris Tognoni to see.
The ref immediately halted the action and brought in a Nevada State Athletic commission doctor, who examined Lima's arm. After a bite mark was observed on the arm, Tognoni waved off the bout.
